i agree with vince not the race but maybe the race point but also the video of the lib clearly shows a very strong wind blowing from left to right across the transporter catching the birds and battering many into the ground on one side and blowing them towards a nearby road with a lorry passing at the other side of the transporter we dont see if the birds got across the road without being hit or not so who knows but it looks obvious that the wind strenth was not taken into consideration at the lib site there was no way the birds that hit the ground with such force were going to fly 550 miles after that the snrpc had a much better race im i correct in thinking they lib at a different lib site if not why were our birds not libbed at the same time as them which would have made sence something stinks about this lib imo and peoples best birds have suffered for it did not want to comment before as i was still hurting with anger but the video of the lib tells the tale for me incompetence simple as that and far to many people with there finger in the pie on race days

I have read most of the posts on this thread, but some of it is just utter nonsense, I have taken videos of every SNFC liberation that I have been apart of to show the members, I have watched the video on numerous occasions, if the wind was so strong why are the tree,s in the background not moving. The reason we didn't liberate along wth the snrpc, we did not no they were planning on liberating at that time, and did not think the weather at that time was suitable. And I can assure you they use the same racepoint , as I have there lib video on my phone also , I am sure there was more to the bad race , if the weather at the time of liberation wasn't right the birds would have not went. As for incompetence and to many fingers in pies on race days if you think I take a week of work to be better off, your delusional,I have always taken my position as SNFC convoyer very seriously. But am sure if the birds were in the Lanarkshire transporter,s we wouldn't be having this conversation.
